Moratorium

Sir, – A darlin’ word. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Having endured a veritable tsunami of sundry soundbites over recent weeks, I feel all citizens deserve some self-service “soundscapism” as an antidote.  Some suggestions:  vocal improvisations (bathroom-style); finger-drumming on every available surface (no clapping, please); rhythmic-stamping as we go (no kicking of passers-by); melodic grunting and growling, with creative grimacing interspersed with copious snarlings (maintaining “decibel decencies”, of course). All of the above to be engaged in freely in all places and at all times. – Yours, etc,
